Writing a novel is a journey of uncovering the story and yourself. As tiny insights appear in the writing, you apply them in your daily life and as the foibles of work, family and community teach you new lessons, they are woven into the story. My life experiences are integral to my fiction and my fiction heavily influences my life.
When I started writing Falling From The Moon, I was a partner in a software consulting company, had boundless energy, and only worked enough to survive. Back then I preferred to spend my time surfing the sunset glass-off at Black’s Beach or camping in the woods for weeks on end at the rainbow gathering.
While my life has changed significantly over the years, the story lives on.
Falling From The Moon was published earlier this year and since then I have been learning how to share my story without in-person events by hosting webinars, talk radio, and of course sharing the journey on social media.
